Anton Van Oosbree · 5/5 on Google · 3 years agoMy son has been attending Guiding Light Montessori for over a year and my husband and I could not be happier watching his emotional, physical and intellectual development. Ms. Justina has been so supportive, and an enormous resource to our family, always making the time, fostering a great sense of community.

Parmiss Kashirad Caulfield · 5/5 on Google · 3 years agoGuiding Light Montessori has been a second home for both of my children, and for our whole family really, for the past 7 years.
